Today's the first day for free CTA rides for active military personnel, who must be in full uniform to qualify. Onerous! A military ID card, a la the senior card, is in the works to expand the program to disabled veterans at some point this summer. Also, the CTA is cutting 100 non-union administrative jobs. [S-T, CTA]
